2011 Map of Gobblers Knob

About this map

Gobblers Knob rises as a central landmark in this high-country landscape of Park County, Montana. The terrain is defined by a series of branching watercourses, including Brackett Creek to the north and the various forks of Willow Creek to the south. Historically significant ranching operations are scattered throughout these drainages, with Hansen Ranch, Ward Ranch, and Gibson Ranch established along the creek bottoms where water and grazing were most accessible. The road network, including Brackett Creek Rd and Willow Creek Rd, follows the natural contours of the valleys, reflecting a settlement pattern deeply tied to the local hydrology. Notable for local history is the presence of Terry Sheep Camp and Willow Creek Ranch, which suggest the enduring agricultural character of this portion of the Montana Rockies.
